THE LABOR QUESTION.


In all consideration of what is called
the labor question it is necessary to be-
gin by recognizing the fact that the as
sumption of the generic term Labor"
by the trades unions is unwarranted
and misleading. The acceptance of the
term, moreover, has had decidedly con-
fusing results. The press and the pol
iticians, by employing it earelessly and
freely, have helped to strengthen the
false impression that it is really the
entire labor element of the country
which is concerned. The truth is that
the Knights of Labor and all the other
trades unions together constitute no
more than minority Of the working
men of the United States that the
non-union workingmen are twice Or
three times as many as the union men;
and that consequently no clear or just
ideas can be formulated on the whole
question so long as the right of the or
ganized workingmen to speak for labor
generally is tacitIy conceded.
The importance of this point is fur
Their shown when the relation of organ
lied to unorganized labor is examined.
According to the organs and spokes-
men of the trades unions, there is
trouble only between capital and labor.
But every strike exposes the fallacy of
this position for no sooner have the
men in any employment struck than
their places are sought eagerly by 9TH
ers, who are willing to accept all the
conditions rejected by them. The new
Corners represent unorganized labor.
They are the majority. They are men
who have not yet been drummed into
the ranks; who have not surrendered
their rights and liberties as citizens
who retain the privilege of working for
whom they please, at such wages as
they choose to accept; who do not per-
nit walking delegate'' to determine
whether their wives and children shall
have plenty or go hungry. Every great
strike yet undertaken has been broken
and beaten by the action of morgan
lied labor, but the representatives of
organized labor continue the farce of
pretending that their associations alone
have any right to be considered as
workingmen.
The offensive if meaningless epithet
"scabs'' has been invented to designate
those who exercise their undoubted
rights as American freemen, and take
work where they can find it, without
asking the permission of some Jack in
Office calling himself ''master work
man" (perhaps on the principle lucus a
non llcendO). Thus a definite effort to
ostraeize and discredit men who are
acting entirely within their rights, and
who are to be commended for prefer
ring industry to loafing and practical
to virtual serfhood, is one
Of the most conspicuous results of labor
Unfortunately, the pol
ltician, seeing only the minority Of or

gained labor, and blinded by the audac-
ity of its pretensions, proceeds as though
it really were what it asserts itself to
be, and defers to its often ignorant and
impracticable demands with a prompt
servility which increases the general
confusion and magnifes the general

A.. But once again here is this ques-
ton about going to heaven when you
die. Most people think that we must
die to go to heaven; that the only way
to heaven is through death; that no
soul can be in heaven until he dies.
Many think that the good go to heaven
when they die, and some think that
everybody goes to heaven when they
die; that death is the great, broad gate
through which all pass into the king
dom of purity and peace.
Here again is the same obliviousness
Of the spirituality Of Gods kingdom.
All these people are blind to that spir-
ituality. They are making physical
event, the way to spiritual state.
They are making the death of the body,
a door to the righteousness of the soul.
They imagine that moral and spiritual
attachments will come by mere change
of bodily form. The kingdom of God
is within you. You cannot get into
that kingdom by dying. You might as
well expect to become mathematician
or linguist by travelling to the moon.
You might as well expect to get into
that kingdom by raising corn and pota-
toes, as to expect to get into it by dy-
ing. Nay, verify. The way to that
kingdom, is the way of life and not
death.
You must live, if you would know
the blessed kingdom of God. You
must live honestly, you must live truly,
you must live bravely and nobly, you
must live purely and divinely, If you
would enter the spiritual paradise OF
the Eternal. "Tbe pure in heart see
God" and no one else can see him.
You can have no heaven until your
soul is alive with the life Of God. Heav-
en- is in the world within, and until that
world is ruled and swayed by the love
of God, there is no heaven for you.
Death cannot give you that love
Death cannot create the divine life
within you. You may as well expect
to obtain this love aud this life by chang
ing your garments as by changing youl
bodies. The only way to obtain thai
love and that life is by repenting Of
your sins, and growing in grace and the
knowledge of the truth. Stop, then
looking to death for heaven. Look into
your own souls and see if there is any
heaven there. If there is no HEAVIER
there, you will not get any by dying
, Live not in the spirit, give yourselves
| soul and body, to the things of this
world, and you will get anything wher
you die, but heaven.
''The kingdom of God is within you.
Live in that kingdom. Cultivate tina
kingdom. Reform your lives, educate
7 your spirits, enlarge your souls, develop
: your minds and fill your hearts witt
love and your hands with good deeds
and you will have heaven now, ant
heaven forever, and you will never hav
it in any other way. Thus does tn

of Gods kingdom, throw light ever.

When Judge Henry Hilton pur-
chased Meiasonier's famous picture,
"Friedland; 1907" for $4,000, at tie re.
cent sale of the Stewart collection, in New
York, it was with the intention of present
ing it to the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art, but his purpose was kept Sc
cret until last week. "Friedland" was
purchased by the late Mr.. Stewart, early
in 1876, and he paid the artist for it at
that time 100000, which with the duties
on its importation made its actual cost to
the merchant prince just about what ex-
judge Hilton paid for it. The picture is
96x54 inches in size, and represents the
officers Of Napoleon passing in re-
view before their chief when he was in
the height of his power and glory. The
picture has been regarded as a master
piece OF the great painter, and its reputa-
ton is as wide as the world of art A
companion to "Friedland," "The Defense
of Champigny," by Edouard Detaille,
which Judge Hilton owns, and for which
he paid $4,000, he also presented to
the museum.

OF Commons, is the youngest son of the
great Peel. He looks like Yankee
preacher. He is fifty-eight years of age,
above medium height, OF ordinary
straight, thin build. He walks with his
head thrown little back; the long, prim-
set features, solemn, if not grewsome, the
full beard sprinkled with gray, the
smooth.shayen upper lip severely official,
the large, weak blue eyes self conscious,
his whole air one of ostentatious signifi-
canoe, which before any nights sitting is
over, is changed into WEAKNESS, close
upon despair.

IMMORTALITY OF INFLUENCE.

When the ashes of the burned body
of Wickliff were cast into a narrow,
English stream, and thence borne into
a wide river, and onward to the sea and
to the ends of the earth, the poet seizes
the incident to picture the pernanence
of influence:
1.-The Avon to the Severn flows,
The Severn to the sea;
So, scattered where'er water goes,
Shall Wickliff's ashes be-
A minute portion of gas may impreg-
nate vast volume of air, and so there
is a potential, diffusive and imminent
vitality sometimes exerted by souls
when least they intend it. A wayside
word, a glance, a gesture or smile
may be formulating seed that shall i'm
pregnate human life with virtuous or
with vicious influence which will, in
turn, reproduce its kind in other lives
forevermore onward to the end of time.
How shall guard so potent factor
Not so much by vigil of the lips, a
ceaseless and conscious watch over hand
and eye and voice, as by the culture of
the heart itself in all holy and healthful
affections, out of which the unpremed-
itated words and unconscious revela-
tons of character come: Whatsoever
things are true and lovely, think on
these things" and the face will grow
beautiful, and the tongue become an
unconscious agent in doing good SO
long as life shall last.
